Summary
About Griffon Nivernais
The Griffon Nivernais is an ancient French, medium‑sized scenthound with a shaggy grey‑fawn coat and rustic look. Bred for boar and deer, it’s energetic outdoors yet calm and affectionate at home. Sociable with other dogs, it needs ample exercise, mental work and gentle, patient training.
About Pug
Small, sturdy companion dog with wrinkled face, curled tail and expressive eyes, usually 6–8 kg and suited to city homes. Affectionate, people focused and playful, needs moderate gentle exercise, close family contact, careful weight control and extra management in hot weather due to its short nose.
